In the situation of a client connecting to an FTP server using an
IPv6 tunnel proxy, the connection info will indicate that the connection
is IPv6. However, because the server behind the proxy is IPv4, it is
permissible to attempt PSV mode. In the case of the FTP server being
IPv4 only, EPSV will always fail, and with the current logic curl will
be unable to connect to the server, as the IPv6 fwdproxy causes curl to
think that EPSV is impossible.
I've tested this privately, using a CONNECT IPv6 proxy to connect to an IPv4 host. I'm not sure if there is a better way to test if the connection is using a proxy (I stole this conditional from the control_address function below this one).
